Physiotherapists
Lachie Bruce
Lachie founded Allura Health with the prospects to create a space for clients of all abilities to achieve their rehabilitation goals. He focuses on a patient centred treatment plan for clients with musculoskeletal injuries, biomechanical in-balances and neurological rehabilitation. Lachie has had the fortunate opportunity to work with various athletes off all ages from a variety of sports, ranging from Nutri-Grain Ironman to professional football players and both State and Australian representatives in swimming, surf-lifesaving, running and triathlons. Although he works with some of Australia’s top athlete’s he hopes to bring the same treatment plans to his clients within the Northern Beaches community. He currently works in the Allura Health rooms and in the pool providing both physiotherapy and aquatic physiotherapy services to clients with chronic pain, acute injuries and neurological deficits. When he is not treating, Lachie can be found spending far too much time at the beach. He hopes to help guide you on your pathway to thrive and be pain free.
